[Sca-cooks] Dijon Mustard?

[Drucilla Meany-Herbert]

I haven making my own mustard for 4 years now J But I mostly make stone
ground not smooth and light mustards and thought to try a Dijon. But was
uncertain if Dijon mustard was period or not  or even if the name was added
to a mustard from an earlier time. A number of times I have seen mustard
recipes for period mustards or dishes use the term Dijon mustard and this
has puzzled me as to whether it was a mustard created in the mid 1800's or a
variation on an earlier mustard.
